The catatonia, also known as the catatonic syndrome, has long been connected to and attributed to schizophrenia. But in recent decades, researchers have found that the origins of the condition were far more varied.

The catatonia is brought on by psychiatric disorders (diseases that affect a person's mental health), neurological disorders (which result in abnormalities in how the brain functions), or systemic diseases that alter the operation of one or more bodily systems. Nearly 150 years after its initial description, scientists are still unable to fully explain why catatonia develops in an individual. However, they have identified a number of contributing factors, including chemical imbalances in the brain and inheritable causes.

Comment définir un état catatonique ?

Medical sources link the catatonic state to some psychotic symptoms. That is, a mental degeneration akin to a crisis of a folly, such as hallucinations, negation, or pathological culpability. Considering that it's not just folie but rather "vegetative and endocrinological" disturbances that are most frequently observed in schizophrenia. This is why medical sources link the catatonic state to cataclysm. An extremely common hypnotic state in a schizophrenia crisis. Therefore, it should be noted that a catatonic state is a crisis that manifests in schizophrenia when the subject exhibits agitated behavior along with erroneous ideas, a sense of derealization, or even hallucinations.

According to the psychiatrists Ali Amad, Thomas Fovet, Maéva Magnat, and professor Pierre Thomas working at the Centre hospitalier universitaire de Lille(1), psychiatric reasons of catatonia account for about 66% of cases. She could also be brought on by:

Uncontrollable bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder (melancholia), mania, difficulty with the autistic spectrum, syndrome Gilles de la Tourette, and compulsive obsessional disorders
